Re: VMR V708 Experiences

[QUOTE=elevation;147815]18s are better than 19s for handling and ride quality. I have 19" VMR RS4 reps and they look fantastic. You certainly feel planted on the road. Without some suspension tuning my car is just not meant for the 19s. If anyone wants a set of 19" VMRs with rubber send me a PM. I am about to take them off for the winter.

Are they still for sale?

that would help if they weren't made in China

5 spokers? like C5 RS6?

there was a set on audizine for $600. Those are pretty commonly for sale because many 2005.5 and Canada 2006 B7 S4s came with them.

Did you check out Redline Motorworks???

Redline Motorworks - High Performance Aftermarket Car Parts

Andrew can get the VMR's for a decent price with rubber. I was considering VMR V710's but ended up going with Miro 111's with Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme tires. Have them on my ride now...check out my new post with pics of the new rims.
